The 53-man roster has been expanded under the revised CBA. Teams can now activate up to 48 players on game day, up from 46 previously. One stipulation exists: teams must have eight active offensive linemen in order to dress 48 players; otherwise that team will be allowed to active 47 players. The Dolphins utilized a new CBA rule to elevate CB Tae Hayes from the practice squad today, giving the Dolphins 54 players on the active roster and six inactives tonight.
